Description Christopher Yeleighton 2013-12-31 07:49:56 UTC 
Kate ignores HTML character set declaration, using ISO Latin-1 for all non-UTF content.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
  1.  { cat > /tmp/kate.html <<'<!-- EOF -->'; }
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" 
><HTML ><META HTTP-EQUIV=CONTENT-TYPE CONTENT="TEXT/HTML; CHARSET=ISO-8859-2" 
><TITLE >Character set detection</TITLE ><P >Zażółć gęślą jaźń
<!-- EOF -->

  2. Tell Kate to open <URL: /tmp/kate.html > using the default encoding (UTF–8).

Actual Results:  
  2. Kate figures out that the encoding is not UTF but uses ISO Latin-1:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" 
><HTML ><META HTTP-EQUIV=CONTENT-TYPE CONTENT="TEXT/HTML; CHARSET=ISO-8859-2" 
><TITLE >Character set detection</TITLE ><P >Za¿ó³æ gê¶l± jaŒñ

Expected Results:  
  2. Let Kate use the encoding declared in the CONTENT-TYPE instead:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" 
><HTML ><META HTTP-EQUIV=CONTENT-TYPE CONTENT="TEXT/HTML; CHARSET=ISO-8859-2" 
><TITLE >Character set detection</TITLE ><P >Zażółć gęślą jaźń

Of course, you can always tell Kate to use a different encoding, after the document has been opened (but before it is modified).

I guess kate could use QTextCodec::codecForHtml when detecting text/html mime type.
